didn't realize Ruby was so popular ... he's the type that would go for it
... he got started throwing shot put & discus in Track & Field - had a good
coach for a year, but then that fellow moved and hasn't been so good
since. After that tried American football, Basketball, & Wrestling that
was in middle school when the schedule allowed them to do it all
Got injured in wrestling last year and had to sit out on football but
healed up enough for wrestling and made into went to regions (3rd) and
state (didn't place). Wrestling practices average 2-3 hours and are
intense, their coach says every other sport will pale by comparison. So it
seems. He tries in Track & Field, but its not the same for him anymore ...
Football will possibly go the same route - & only mean something for the
moment because of the camaraderie ...
Rugby though, hmmm that's different and intense enough hmmmm
